Dell :: Re GPU Meltdown: Will Only Replace The Laptop If The Warrranty Has Run Out?

I read that if the mobo is replaced while under warranty the warranty won't be extended;

so it only applies to mobos that melt after the warranty has run out or is this Dells way of trying to get you to buy an extended warranty? Just want to be clear on that before i buy one.

I'm still on the fence about these laptops but having the option of getting a replacement should one fail outside it's warranty would definitely hel
